They are on Yavin IV. I believe you should head to the Labor Outpost, but you better be buffed and armored.

more than that.. you'd better have a doc ready to rez.
the critters in there are easily agro'd, especially with AOE's. They WILL come off melee'ers and try to eat/shoot you.

I tested that a while ago on accident. I ran my mind down spamming specials after my canape wore off. I was being argoed by about 6 things and my HAM kept going up. If you have buffs and armor it's extremely hard to die in any PvE combat. I have even ran through the Force Hunters Cave on Dantooine and had the entire cave argo me at once. I lasted over 20 minutes with full argo on me.

that's interesting.. i got wasted in no time by crazed genosians (stun weapons) and the enhanced klikniks, etc.
i went in with 73% ubese, for encumbrance purposes. maybe composite would fare better, but I dont' see how. the genosians definitely use stun weaps, and easily hit for 1k+ per attack.
however, I'd also like to point out that as a master rifle, master doc, i have ZERO melee mitigation. maybe that's what kept you alive against the kwi's and klikniks.

It is possible that this kept me alive. I know it definitely helps. But I do know the comp armor was a huge factor. There are more then just kenetic and stun damage in that cave. The NPC's and droid deka's have ranged weapons (probably energy) and those spider looking things throw fire at you.

On Yavin IV mining outpost talk to the crazy old miner that will give you a mission to bring him back something from the mine (anything) and there is your wp to the geo caves. I suggest a music/dancer/doc full set of buffs a doc for rez and a commando to clear the path. The geo caves are a bit too narrow to use your rifle to itstrue potential though.
Wanna make some XP and ressources? run around Yavin killing klikniks and collect their GREAT meat (950+ stats) atm. You can make 5k XP on a queen and it takes like 5 mindshots to take it down harhar. Try looting the corpse you never know what you might find

Me and some friends went to the geno cave yesterday. about 5 of us. We camped the spot right inside and got the spawnrate up alot! they spawned 2 at a time and when those were dead, another 2 spawned. I used AOE attack and i got.... like 900k exp (capped) in less then 1 hr. Its awesome. You need some melee professions in there to, or else ur **edit**ed.
